Misadventures of a Biker by Scott Hildreth Blog Tour

He was bad to the bone…

Devin “Bone” Wallace is fresh out of prison and under orders from his parole office to find employment or be re-incarcerated. He’s not exactly a “people person” and he’s got zero computer skills, but that doesn’t stop him from applying at one of the most prestigious real estate firms on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

High-end real estate broker Tedi Mack’s main focus is selling eight-figure beachfront mansions. In desperate need of an office receptionist, she interviews three bubblegum-chewing twenty-somethings and a stunningly handsome tattooed biker who wears his wallet on a chain. Tedi and her all-woman sales staff make a very quick decision: Devin the biker.

After Devin makes a recommendation about a listing that’s been a thorn in Tedi’s side, the property sells, and the celebration leads to an unexpected connection. The attraction is undeniable and hard to resist, but Tedi would be risking her social and professional status being with Devin, a tattooed biker saddled with debt and a surprising criminal past.

Misadventures is a romantic series of spicy standalone novels, each written or co-written by some of the best names in romance. The stories are scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly sexy. They’re the perfect bedside read, a ‘quick blush’ for the reader who loves a page-turning romance.

Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Misadventures of a Biker isn't your typical biker book. There is minimal club interaction, no club life, so if you are looking for that sort of read, this isn't it. This is more about a biker and what he has to go through after being released from prison.

When Devin is released from federal prison, he needs to find somewhere to work. It's part of his release that he has a job and somewhere to live that isn't anywhere near the club he left eight years ago. He lives with Herb, a hilarious seventy-something year old man, who honestly has the best lines in the book. Herb sends Devin to a real estate agency in need of a receptionist.

Devin and Tedi have a rocky start. Tedi has mile-high walls and a past relationship that has her taking it out on all men she talks to. Devin refuses to take her disrespect lightly and puts Tedi in her place. Which leads Tedi into dropping her walls just a bit to let the sexy biker receptionist in.

I thoroughly enjoyed the start of this book, it pulled me in and had me super invested in the relationship that was building between Tedi and Devin. The push and pull were some of my favorite interactions that were building up to something amazing. Then the sex happened, and the book just stayed at a steady pace. No more of the push and pull that drew me in. It was well written, and Scott Hildreth is one of my favorite biker authors, but this one was a bit of a miss.

Scott Hildreth is an international bestselling author. He has published more than fifty novels (both traditionally and independently) and has every intention of writing many more.

His preferred careers of being a biker, military hero, mafia boss, boxer, vigilante, and tattoo artist will always be favorites, but as writing has become a full-time gig, he must live vicariously through the characters in his books who share his admiration for these professions.

He resides in Naples, Florida with his wife and children.

Misadventures with My Ex by Shayla Black Blog Tour

Once, Eryn Hope fell fast and incurably for Weston Quaid. And he seemed to adore her too—until she learned their love was built on lies when he walked out on their wedding day.

Three years later, West has finally won control of his family empire and fortune, but it cost him Eryn—something he regrets every day. When business forces him to return to her life and temporarily shut down her livelihood, of course she’s furious. But their chemistry is still beyond combustible. So he makes her a proposition: he’ll take care of her until her bistro reopens… if she becomes his mistress. Her mind screams no, but her body whimpers yes, yes, yes.

As soon as West has her back in his bed, their passion burns hotter than ever. So do his feelings. But can he and Eryn really recapture the love they shared? And when their bargain ends, will he be the one shattered this time or will they finally come together forever?

“You’re supposed to groom the way I want you to. It’s in the contract.”

That raises my alarm. “It’s not!”

“Oh, it is. Paragraph three, subparagraph six, clause B. You’re to be presentable to my satisfaction.”

“When we go out.” I’m positive that’s what I read. Well, almost...

West shakes his head. “I wrote three-quarters of it myself. I know exactly what it says.”

“You wrote most of that?”

He nods. “After I went home, I managed to finish my last semester of college at Columbia, then attended law school. While working as Quaid’s CEO.”

I blink. “You went to law school?”

“There’s a lot you don’t know about the last three years.”

“Whose fault is that?”

His face shutters closed as he reaches into his jeans for his cell. “I’m done arguing about this.”

With a puzzled frown, I watch as he sends a quick text. Almost immediately, he receives a reply. Then he smiles and tosses the device onto the nearest nightstand. “In the spa downstairs, Leona will clear up that landing strip at ten a.m. tomorrow.”

On one level, it’s heady that he cares about the state of my flesh he intends to use. On the other hand, I don’t understand his insistence to have me bare. “Why are you trying so damn hard to control everything, even the state of my pubic hair?”

“Because I want back the sexual compatibility we once had. I want the naked dinners and the lazy Sunday afternoons. I want the long, hot nights of lovemaking. I want—” He lets out a rough breath and shakes his head. “I want your pussy bare.”

That’s not the whole truth. I know West’s expressions too well. Oh, he wants to recreate something about our past. The question is why? And how much? But I’m guessing it’s not just the sex. Holy cow, is he looking to make me his girlfriend? His “fiancée” again? Maybe... but now that I’m thinking about it, two and two aren’t adding up.

Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆
M/F Second Chance Romance

This is the second book that I've read in the series and they were not in order. However, Eryn is present in the previous book that I read, which was Misadventures of a Backup Bride.

Eryn and Weston (West) have history. We are thrust into the story with Eryn not having a very good day. She's commiserating about the fact that she was left by a man she thought really loved her. While drunk, dressed in her wedding dress and awaiting a pizza delivery, the last person she thought she'd ever see is now standing in front of her.

Weston knows that Eryn was it for him. It was difficult to leave her behind, but it's even more difficult to see the damage he caused. Despite their history, he knows that he needs to talk with her about her new business – they have unfinished business and new business, which just confuses their history and their futures.

What follows is a series of sexy encounters and plans to woo Eryn again. However, with forces, again, conspiring against this couple, Eryn and West will have to decide if their love is meant to be or if giving up is the best road forward.

West and Eryn have sexy chemistry and their past is well developed and explained. I do wish that we were able to see more of their growth as individuals, but their growth in trusting each other was good. West's family leaves something to be desired, but I love Eryn's family.

I am a big fan of Shayla Black’s work, but I was fascinated to see how she could bring me around with this particular storyline. People who disappear out of the life of someone they love (in this case, were about to marry) are difficult to redeem in my opinion. So, I did start with a fair degree of skepticism.

As we get the story from both sides, it is easier to have some understanding of West’s unacceptable behaviour, and without a doubt, he works very, very hard to correct his past wrongs. So whilst I would have advised Eryn to be super cautious, I did eventually come round.

The scene with West’s mother polluting Eryn’s brain was inspired writing, and compelling reading – it was the point where I was trying to talk to Eryn and get her to see sense… which was an amusing turn of events. I have to admit I thought my mother-in-law was bad, but she lost her crown after that chapter!

Another emotional, romantic, and very satisfying read, thank you very much.

What do you do when you are about to marry the man of your dreams but he walks away, literally on your wedding day? You don't hear from him for three years and then he shows up at your door. What could he possibly want? Do you listen or push him away?

I love a second-chance romance, but I wanted to shake Eryn a few times because she was so wishy washy. She knew what she wanted and what she knew to be true but instead of asking questions to get the answers she needed, she would run and hide and let the problems fester. When all she needed to do was talk to West and tell him what she was feeling and what she feared. Then they could work them out together or walk away.

West needed to win Eryn back or his life would be plain, Eryn was the only person that made it special. So, he had to make her listen to why he left her the way he did. And he needs to keep his mother away from Eryn.

Will Eryn give West the chance to explain and be able to forgive him? Will his mother come between them before they can work things out? Will they finally get their happily ever after?

I loved this story to a point but some parts I wanted to skip over but I didn't. Eryn's internal fears and trust issues were her main problem that had her second guessing almost everything. And that is why I kept reading, to see how it would end and in the end it was great.

I love Shayla Black and her writing style, and I love the Misadventures series too. So if you are looking for a second-chance story or another Misadventures story, then you get both here, just don't give up on Eryn and West. I hope you enjoy it as much and I did.

Misadventures with a Manny by Toni Aleo Blog Tour

Vera Woods is at her wit’s end.

Her husband has run off with the nanny, leaving Vera with a broken heart, three very angry sons, and even less time to juggle the demands of family and her career. After her boys scare away a sixth replacement nanny, Vera is out of time off from work and desperately out of options. Still nursing an aching heart, she turns to an unlikely source for help―a manny.

Lincoln Scott is no stranger to family chaos. But rather than grow jaded, he has thrown his natural talents into building his own business―providing live-in childcare for families as a manny. The money is great and the perks are a blast, but when his family of six years moves to Germany and their plans to bring him along fall through, Lincoln is suddenly unemployed and aware of how much of himself he’s given to other people’s families.

Brought together by circumstances, Lincoln and Vera’s mutually beneficial business arrangement becomes complicated by the undeniable chemistry they share. Vera needs a manny and Lincoln needs a job, but they both may have found the very thing neither one had realized they needed―a whole lot more.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is an absolutely lovely read – I laughed so many times, had a few tears, and just wished I could meet Vera and Linc and the rest of the clan. I loved that Toni Aleo brought us a lesser used sport (lacrosse) into the book, and enabled the bonding of the boys to happen over their mutual love and enjoyment of the game.

The story is really sweet, sexy, and the smooth writing style makes for super easy reading – but what really sets it apart is the wonderful humour, the attention to detail, and the clear chemistry between Vera and Lincoln. They had a difficult time with their roles and responsibilities in the beginning, but the trust and respect was there from the get go, and those two attributes are undoubtedly essential to see these two to the place where they need to be.

I highly recommend that you grab a copy and enjoy a really fun read.

What do you do when your marriage is over because you ex-husband has left with the nanny? You get yourself a Manny. Someone to help with three boys that are angry and hurt because their father has left them. Vera was looking for a female nanny but after many failed attempts, her sister brings over the perfect nanny. Well he is a man, so you can't call him a nanny, he is a manny.

Lincoln is a manny and loves what he does. He loves kids and being part of their lives. When the family he is with moves way, he has to decide what he wants to do. Does he put his degree to work or does he look for another family with children? When his best friend’s wife suggests he work for her sister because they really need him.

When Lincoln and Vera see each other, there are sparks but both want to deny it. Because she needs a manny and he needs a job.

How long can they deny their feelings for each other? Will her boys have a problem with them dating? When will her ex have to say about it?

I loved the way Vera was with her boys but hated how her ex treated her when he was the one that caused the problems. This story will have you laughing and crying, and you will not want it to end.

This is the third, I think, in the Misadventures series that I have read, and I have loved them all. So sit back and enjoy Vera, Lincoln, and the boys’ story, you will not be disappointed.

My name is Toni Aleo, and I’m a #PredHead, #sherrio, #potterhead, and part of the #familybusiness!

I am also a wife to my amazing husband, mother of a gamer and a gymnast, and also a fur momma to Gaston el Papillion.

While my beautiful and amazing Shea Weber has been traded from my Predators, I’m still a huge fan. But when I’m not cheering for him, I’m hollering for the whole Nashville Predators since I’ll never give my heart to one player again.

When I’m not in the gym getting swole, I’m usually writing, trying to make my dreams a reality, or being a taxi for my kids.

I’m obsessed with Harry Potter, Supernatural, Disney, and anything that sparkles! I’m pretty sure I was Belle in a past life, and if I could be on any show, it would be Supernatural so I could hunt with Sam and Dean.

Also, I did mention I love hockey, right?

Misadventures with a Rookie by Toni Aleo Release Blitz

Winning has always come naturally for stud ice hockey defenseman Gus “the Bus” Persson. On the ice or off, he’s never had any trouble scoring, racking up goals—and girls. As the best player in his rookie class and the number-one draft pick of the Malibu Suns, he’s taking his game to the next level and is justifiably full of swagger.

So why does one of the Suns’ ice girls treat him like he’s invisible?

Bo St. James doesn’t have time for rookie hotshots who think their gloves don’t stink. She knows them, she works with them, she trains them. It doesn’t matter that Gus Persson is the hottest newbie she’s ever seen. She knows his type. She’s got big plans of her own, and she’s not going to let some cocky rich kid athlete keep her from her goals.

But there’s a chemistry between them they cannot deny. A lust that burns so hot, it threatens to melt the very ice on which they make their livings. The game has changed for both of them. Together, can these two play to win?

***Misadventures are standalone romances that can be read in any order.***

Mary Jo – ☆☆☆☆
A cute read with a little hockey thrown in. It’s not hockey heavy as most of Ms. Aleo's books usually are, but it's well worth the afternoon of reading.

Both Gus and Bo are well developed characters and easy to relate to. The obstacles in their path are not insurmountable, but it does take time and effort to make sure both parties are on the same path.

My name is Toni Aleo and I’m a total dork.

I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.

I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!

When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughter’s dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.

I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life… probably Belle.
… and did I mention I love hockey?
